Part 1
School curriculum can be developed by many different people. It takes more than one or two people to achieve and implement a formal curriculum. The government has always played a major role in developing the curriculum's along side teachers, students, experts and companies. Many of these decisions to create curriculum come from a combination of local, national and school participation, but in the end any final decisions fall under national. Political views of the curriculum can impact how the design of the curriculum is made and have influenced many curriculum outcomes. Looking at past and data curriculum can affect the ways people look at building the new curriculum. The teachers play an important role in building a curriculum because they are the ones who are inside the classroom and spending the most time with what the kids are interested in and how they learn or don’t learn. Levin suggests that it is important to involve the community members because their views and thoughts need to be considered. It shocks me that experts and scientists have more of a say then teachers because they don’t know the teaching aspect of things and how it may work in the classroom Part 2 One connection that is made between the two articles is that it takes many people to produce a curriculum. There was never just one person who gets to be deciding these things it was always more then one and multiple different groups.

As future teachers knowing that we are going to have a diversity of languages and cultures in the classroom is very important. Making the classroom a welcoming place where the can feel safe to be themselves and making sure that personal opinions are not running through our minds so that there is room for development of knowledge and inclusion for everyone. Having student talk about where they come from and their differences to other cultures may also be important in their development and always making sure that they can be heard and feel proud of where they come from. |
